The New Japan Cup is New Japan Pro Wrestling’s annual single-elimination tournament. It will run from March 9 to 21. The winner of this tournament will receive a championship match of their choosing at NJPW Sakura Genesis on April 1. They may compete for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, IWGP Intercontinental Championship, or NEVER Openweight Championship.

On this episode of Music of the Mat, Andrew is joined by Duncan Joyce (Then, Now, Whatever) to discuss a selection of themes that helped make UK promotion PROGRESS Wrestling the phenomenon that it is today.
